In a shocking revelation, a royal insider has claimed that Queen Camilla is the driving force behind King Charles’ decision to not meet with his son, Prince Harry, during his recent visit to the United Kingdom. The insider alleges that Harry’s “cruel” comments about Camilla in his memoir, “Spare,” have made it increasingly difficult for him to have a meaningful relationship with his father.
According to the insider, Harry has “made things very difficult for himself” by portraying Camilla in a negative light in his tell-all book. In the memoir, Harry branded Camilla “dangerous” and accused her of offering him up as a “sacrifice on her personal PR altar.” These scathing accusations have clearly strained the relationship between Harry and his stepmother, and have forced King Charles to choose between his son and his wife.
The insider revealed that Camilla has been a crucial pillar of support for the monarchy in recent months, describing her as the one who has been “propping up the whole edifice.” This suggests that King Charles values Camilla’s role and influence within the royal family, and is unwilling to jeopardize that by accommodating Harry’s visit.
The insider also noted that Prince William has “accepted his father’s choice” of Camilla, while Harry has “made a different decision.” This implies that Harry’s unwillingness to accept Camilla as a part of the royal family has further alienated him from his father and brother.
The insider warned that the “inevitable consequences” of Harry’s public attacks on Camilla are that it becomes “difficult for [him] to see [his] father.” This suggests that Harry’s actions have made it increasingly challenging for him to maintain a relationship with King Charles, as the monarch is now forced to choose between his wife and his son.
A friend of Prince William and Kate Middleton also weighed in, stating that it is “hardly surprising” that Charles did not invite Harry for a visit, given the “cruel names” Harry used to describe Camilla in his book. Additionally, a former Buckingham Palace staffer commented that the palace prefers to have Harry and Meghan “as far away as possible” from the institution, as their presence is “distracting” and a source of constant media attention.
In response to the speculation surrounding a potential meeting with his father, Harry’s spokesperson stated that it “will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program.” However, the insider dismissed this statement as “childish” and “petulant foot-stamping,” arguing that the real reason behind the lack of a meeting is Harry’s own actions and the damage he has done to his relationship with the royal family.
The revelations from the royal insider paint a complex and troubling picture of the rift between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family. The central role of Queen Camilla in King Charles’ decision to not meet with Harry during his recent visit highlights the deep divisions and strained relationships within the monarchy. As the Sussexes continue to navigate their new lives outside of the royal fold, it remains to be seen whether they will be able to mend these fractured relationships in the years to come.
